SOLAR POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: solar power plants with solar radiation concentrators for parallel operation of heat sources; domestic and technological purposes. SUBSTANCE: solar power plant includes parabolic or facet concentrators 1, spherical boilers 4, supply pipes 6, drives for rotation of concentrators in horizontal and vertical planes, ropes 10 for transmission of motion and hot water or steam receiver; concentrators 1 are movably suspended from horizontal bent rods 2 pass through focus; they are secured to top of supports 12 for synchronous rotation around horizontal lines passing through focus. Boilers 4 are immovably mounted on support in bent of rod with focus in center of boiler; supply pipes 6 are heat-insulated and are connected together with boilers in series-and-parallel circuits; their inlet end 14 is connected to cold water pump 15 and their outlet end 15 is connected to hot water or steam receiver. Secured on each vertical revolving axle of concentrator is lever 9 which is connected with rope 8 rotating the concentrator in horizontal plane. Taps 11 secured to rope 8 rotating the concentrator in vertical plane are connected with edges of concentrator, thus ensuring synchronous rotation about horizontal axes. Ropes bought to hot water or steam room are connected with respective actuating motors of turn control unit. Supports 12 are mounted in several series-and-parallel rows reaching their centers in radii. EFFECT: possibility of rotation of concentrators around focus in two mutually perpendicular planes when spherical boiler is immovable in focus. 2 cl, 1 dwg
